Knowledge   Current Status of Adult-Oriented Picture Book Publishingand Publishers in Korea   2024.09.02   Reflections on “picture books for adults”   My publishing house, “A Little Cat at Noon (오후의 소묘),” began to be called the “picture book publisher for grown-ups” as we published our first picture book At the Drop of a Cat (written by ?lise Fontenaille, illustrated by Violeta L?piz) in spring 2019.

New Books   What Do Life and Death Look Likefor Single-Person Households in South Korea?     2026.06     Kim Su-Young, The Inevitable Loneliness, 2026.   In 2021, Professor Kim Su-Young, author of The Inevitable Loneliness, launched the 〈ALONE〉 project, a two-year study documenting the lives of 109 single-person households. This book brings to light the stories of 56 participants from that research. As of August 2025, South Korea officially entered an era where single-person households exceed ten million.
